1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Preventing recurrence of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is important for improving patient well-being and reducing the health economic burden of this disease. To date, no oral agent has shown sufficient benefit to be adopted in clinical practice, where current strategies rely on topical (intravesical) administration of chemotherapy and immunotherapy. In this issue of the journal (beginning on page 1580), Sabichi and colleagues report the first phase II randomized controlled trial of the COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib in bladder cancer. The trial set out to measure an overly ambitious effect size but nevertheless showed encouraging signs of celecoxib activity. It lends support to COX-2 inhibition in NMIBC, which is being tested in several subsequent trials, and to the need for conclusive evidence.
